In this book, psychologist and longtime practitioner, Michael Bresnan, now offers an introduction to, and explanation of, Mahasati insight meditation. Michael has broken the book into two parts. The first part introduces the reader to the practice itself and discusses its application to the removal of stress in daily life. In the second part, Michael challenges the reader to go deeper as he explains how this practice can serve, not only as a method for stress reduction, but as a clear and direct path to the awakening promised by the Buddha.
About the Author: Michael Bresnan is a licensed psychologist and Buddhist teacher. Following some years of Zen practice, he began practicing Mahasati insight meditation intensively in 1991 when this vipassana lineage was first brought to America. He has been instrumental in helping Mahasati practice become established in the United States and founded the Centers for Mindfulness & Insight Meditation in both Redding, Connecticut, and Wenham, Massachusetts, where he continues to teach.
